MS Word help

[A.L.]

Anyone here know about Word in Office 2010?

I was happily editing and suddenly I notice a load of paragraphs have indented. They won't let me unindent and as I have no idea what I pressed I can't fix it.
If I delete it and put it back it still does the same but it only about a page and half but it looks crap. I think it is something to be with the tab stops but i have no idea what that means.

Anyone have any ideas?

How big is the entire document?

Copying and pasting it all into Notepad, and then copying it into a new document would remove ALL formatting.

Select all and right click, go to paragraph, see what the options are. If you don't want indents then it should all be at 0pt (zero's do not show up well on goodreads)

Never mind I fiddled around until I fixed it.

Apparently if I trick the indent into thinking it is a minus number it sets it back to 0.

[Elle]

well then that must be your margins if it's a minus number and it moves back.

yes I fixed it, at least I think so. I have no idea what I did to move them. The odd thing is even if I copied it to a new document was still like that:(
Oh well seems to have been reset.
Thanks for the advice.

That's because MS Word thinks it's doing you a favor by importing your settings when you open new files.

Another thing you can do when that sort of thing happens is try the revert tab (arrow pointing left).

That's the problem with computers - they do what you TELL them to do, and not want you WANT them to do.
